This is a cuff down pattern in two contrasting colours, where the start of round remains in the same place throughout. Any crazy colour combination would do to enhance the pattern - it‘s retro, baby!

The yarn used here is Arwetta by Filcolana, but any sock yarn with the approx. Meterlange 200-210m/50g should work well. I‘ve measured my socks at 29 x 40 rows, but 28 x 40 will work just as well. I used 50g of leftover yarn in each colour, but 100g for the MC is probably the safer option.

I do hope you‘ll enjoy the pattern and please feel free to adjust the length of the heel flap is you need to. For every 2 extra rows, add 1 picked up stitch on each edge of the heel flap. Happy knitting!
